Heck no! I want connectors that have solid positive contact and are
captive. The 3.5mm connectors and 2.5 mm connectors may be fine for
portable rigs. For fixed station use the bigger the better for connectors.

As further background, I am using the K3/100 remotely via RemoteRig with a
K3/0 at my control QTH. I would like to setup the KRC2 at the remote or
radio location connected to the K3/100 AUX bus. Then I could use the PF1
and PF2 buttons on the K3/0 to control relays at the remote or radio
location
A friend has a K2/100 for sale, in perfect running (and cosmetic)
condition. If you are interested, please e-mail me with an offer.

3507.02 USB-CW, with a 500 Hz Pitch setting. I change the Pitch setting
to 300 Hz, and the display still reads 3507.02. What is this

All Elecraft radios that I know about display the transmitted carrier
frequency in CW and the suppressed carrier frequency in SSB mode.
Your sidetone pitch setting is related to properly tuning a CW signal
and knowing its frequency. If you tune the received signal to a pitch

Your KX3 might be behaving correctly.
E.g., when tuning across a band edge, the KXAT3 is designed to automatically
change to the last tuning of the new band. This is a feature, to save the
battery (don't need to retune just to change bands, if you've already auto
tuned on the new band),
Gernot,
I take some of that back. If the macro output does not change, there still
might be a problem with your KXAT3. I think my test is still worth doing,
because if the output does change, then there would seem to be a documented
problem to go to Elecraft Support with.

Hi Pete,
In CW mode, the K3 reads the actual transmitted frequency. Since normal
CW uses lower sideband on the K3, this means that on 3507.2 in normal CW
mode, with the pitch set at 500 Hz the suppressed carrier frequency is
3507.7 kHz (500 Hz above the signal frequency). If you change the pit

Hi Pete:
The K3 reads the actual transmit carrier frequency. That's the suppressed
carrier frequency in SSB and the actual carrier frequency in any mode such
as CW in which the carrier is transmitted.

There have been some good answers for you. (I saved some to help others.)
My answer(s) is to the way I read your question(s).
The 'pitch' is the tone you will hear in your earphones, or speaker, on both
receive and transmit (cw sidetone). It is nicely done in the K3.
